Looking for a better deal
For 25 years booked with Pavlus. Slowly moved down to 6-7% rebate. Think I need a new agent or agency? Suggestions? Only cruise on Holland America and Regent 7 Seas.

I'd be surprised (and happy) if you're able to find better deals. Right now there aren't deals. Supply & demand. Which is one reason I'm not cruising now. (we're also pavlus customers - I've not seen better prices or availability, but I've only been glancing, not searching)

I get a 7-10% discount from my agent; the % varies depending on the voyage and cost and ultimately the amount of commission for my agent.

We are still getting 10% back from Pavlus for Regent cruises, even those that have been heavily discounted. Holland America may have reduced the commission paid to the agencies, therefore less to share.
